What Are Examples of Secondary Damage or Discovered Hazards?

Your commercial building might harbor hidden materials brought to light during flood damage. When structural components break, erode, or strip away protective coverings during the rush of water or attempts to restore the chaos, the process might need to come to a halt. If the following materials are discovered a change in the recovery plan is necessary:

• Asbestos
• Lead painted surfaces
• A wide range of chemicals, stored or swept inside, now contaminating the flood water
• Mold growth
